Quick Summary
Odisha Sub-ordinate Staff Selection Commission (OSSSC) ne Ophthalmic Officer Recruitment 2026 me 238 posts nikale hain — Odisha ke 29 districts me Health & Family Welfare Department ke under. Apply osssc.gov.in par hoga: pehle registration (5–29 November 2026), phir final application (5 December 2026 tak).

Aur ek baat jo bahut log miss kar dete hain: sirf registration karne se application complete nahi hoti — registration ke baad alag se online application bharna aur 5 December tak submit karna mandatory hai.
